Unite for Uvalde: Pictures show San Antonio-area schools supporting Uvalde on first day of school

SAN ANTONIO – On Tuesday, students in San Antonio-area school districts wore maroon to show their support for the Uvalde community at the start of their school year.

Uvalde CISD students return to the classroom on Sept. 6, just over three months after the Robb Elementary School tragedy that claimed 21 lives.

Though the Uvalde community is still healing and fear and grief surround the start of the new school year, San Antonio schools wanted to provide moral support.

“Let’s all wear maroon to show that our hearts are with the Uvalde community,” Medina Valley ISD said.

These are some of the San Antonio-area school districts that participated:

• South San Antonio ISD
• San Antonio ISD
• Northside ISD
• NEISD
• Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD
• Judson ISD
• Education Service Center, Region 20
• Abilene ISD
• Harlandale ISD
• Medina Valley ISD
• Southwest ISD
• Edgewood ISD
• Marion ISD

Also on KSAT:

• KSAT to stream Uvalde’s first home football game of season Friday at 7 p.m.
• Houston Texans gift new uniforms, equipment to Uvalde HS before Friday’s first home game
